Well done mate!

my mate has a lovely mk1 escort that could use a feature, he's too much of a gimp to submit it himself.

fully restored and built himself from a 1300
Arched, diamond white (i think) 15" compo's, wilwoods, fully group 4'd, turreted ETC, and soon to have YB power.

You've certianly put in the legwork over the years to deserve it mate.

Just shows if you have a dream and work hard enough towards it that it can come good in the end.

You going to be relocating I take it if its full time?

Thanks and your quite right it certainly does, there's a good example here of never giving up etc...

I've already started mate and made the move to Bath, living with Neil @ FF at the minute.

He's such a room mate whore, he's lived with nearly everyone who works at future

Haha!

It's nice to be able to talk Ford's at home with someone who "gets it".

No room at the Inn now Chipper...but hey, there is no doubt, livin' with me is an experience. lol! The dog is slowly winning Si over too, and he is adjusting well to my mild tourettes

Haha, Chip, you'd be welcome mate. I like you in person, you're just a massive cunt on here But yeah, you'd have some interesting topics to chat about and we can hi-five hanging out of each end of an impressionable 16year old. They like Yellow cars, we are in son!

And yeah, Dan's right. Say hello to rising debts and bell-end farmers getting in the way in Discoverys everyday. Still, could be worse hey?
